MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048840 A) filed by Dayananda Sagar College Of Engineering, Bangalore, Karnataka, on April 16, for 'ai-enabled wind energy powered iot system for intelligent cloud seeding and rainfall.'
Inventor(s) include Mrs Sanjana M Nagaraj; Mr. Anil D; Dr. Archana Nandibewoor; Mrs. H D Aparna; Ms Navya SK; Dr. Saba Tahseen; and Ms. Sanjana Shankar.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Cloud seeding is a weather modification technique aimed at enhancing precipitation by introducing substances into the atmosphere that encourage cloud condensation and ice crystal formation. The proposed invention presents an AI-enabled IoT-based adaptive cloud seeding system powered by renewable wind energy, designed to improve the efficiency and sustainability of artificial rainfall generation. The system integrates meteorological sensors, real-time environmental monitoring, and machine learning-based predictive analytics to determine optimal conditions for seeding operations. Based on atmospheric parameters such as humidity, temperature, wind speed, and cloud density, the system autonomously activates a smart seeding mechanism mounted on an elevated wind turbine structure. The wind turbine provides renewable power for continuous monitoring and operation, making the system self-sustaining and suitable for remote regions. Simulation-based analysis and environmental data modeling are used to evaluate system performance across varying climatic conditions. The invention aims to provide a smart, energy-efficient, and automated weather modification platform for drought mitigation, water resource management, and climate resilience."
